Im just running around a local track, big hill in the middle of it so hoping that will strenghten up my legs

But guess its one of the ones we have the most control over so need to keep tipping away. Are u doing anything in particular for the beep test? I'm just doing HIIT on the treadmill & hoping that will suffice

Im into fitness anyway so would be fairly fit but wanna up it to make sure. Push ups are a great way of building upper body strength for the ladies for the push pull machine.
